Episode Details

After 25 years on Louisiana’s death row, Jimmie Duncan is finally free — the state Supreme Court unanimously overturned his 1998 conviction for murdering a toddler, citing fatally flawed bite mark analysis that had once pinned him as the killer. The court condemned the outdated forensic methods, comparing them to witch trial nonsense, and noted that nine others had already been exonerated using the same tainted evidence. Duncan, the last person scheduled for execution based on these experts’ testimony, now walks free thanks to new evidence proving the bite marks weren’t human — and may have been made during the autopsy.
